Predicting survival in cost-effectiveness analyses based on clinical trials.
This study deals with the question of how to model health effects after the cessation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). By using clinical trial data on severe congestive heart failure patients, we illustrate how survival beyond the cessation of an RCT can be predicted based on parametric survival models. In the analysis, we compare predicted survival and the resulting incremental cost-eff...
متن کاملWhat is the difference between controlling for mean versus median income in analyses of income inequality?
It is routine to control for “average” income when assessing the independent eVect of income inequality on health, but authors have used diVerent measures, for example, percentage poverty, per capita or mean income, and median income. 4 However, as the distribution of income in a population is always positively skewed (that is, a long thin tail for the few with high incomes), the median income ...
متن کاملTacrolimus versus cyclosporin in renal transplantation in Italy: cost-minimisation and cost-effectiveness analyses.
BACKGROUND The economic impact of therapies has increasingly become part of the clinical decision-making process. Costs associated with kidney transplantation are substantial and economic evaluations are useful in identifying immunosuppressive regimens that yield optimal clinical and economic benefits. METHODS Utilisation of health care resources during the first 6-months after renal transpla...
متن کاملThe Core Value of Cost-Effectiveness Analyses.
O ver the past 4 years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has transformed the cardiac care of patients in the United States with severe aortic stenosis (SAS). In September 2011, a balloon-expandable prosthesis (Sapien, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of inoperable patients on the basis of a randomi...
متن کاملMedian as a weighted arithmetic mean of all sample observations
It is generally held that median does not use all sample observations. However, median may be expressed as a weighted arithmetic mean of all sample observations. Some Monte Carlo studies have been conducted to show that the method works perfectly well. Citation: Mishra, SK, (2004) "Median as a weighted arithmetic mean of all sample observations."
